Floyd needs Pac more than Pac needs Floyd

no hate or anything, but this is my honest opinion. Floyd even said it himself, "i only fight for a check, not legacy, not belts just $$$" so he will only be looking for big pay days. Floyd clearly wont fight anyone from Top Rank , so that rules out pac, cotto, and marg. so who else is left for floyd to fight (that will be a big pay day)??? Pacquiao fights for a check, belts, and legacy but cleary cant and wont get a fight w/ noone from GBP (cuz they will demand OST drug testing). But he can still fight marg and winner of cotto/foreman (w/o taking any ost drug testing). So thats 2 big fights that pac can get, and floyd has none

pac will always be remembered as the guy dodging the blood test. Only in Flomos' world not the general boxing public

Floyd will only fight an opponent who stand in front of him and the age requirements is must he should be 35 years old and above.

At this point, my excitement for this one has quelled. If it happens, great. If not, piss on it. I don't expect it to, since Pac does indeed have options. As long as he does, Arum will shade PBF and have Pac do something else. Done getting my hopes up for the deal to be agreed upon.

They both need each other IMO, which means Flyod should drop testing and just fight. Everyone wants to see Pacquiao vs Mayweather -- no one cares much about this blood testing except crackhead Mayweather, Flyod, and the flomos!!!!

Think about what you are saying.... do you think anyone would buy into a Pac/Cotto rematch? Just FYI. Floyd has made more money in similar fights. mayweather has already proven that he can make money without Pac. When pac had to fight without Floyd, he faced some african dude and sold 700K. Sorry. look at you clowning yourself. 700k not a good number now w/ a non-american fighter fighting 'some african dude' w/o any 24/7? :lol1:

and from what i see now, boxing needs them both. there are no huge american stars outside of those two, the heavyweight division is in shambles under the control of the k bros who are leagues above everyone else, the best mexican fighter with potential looks like a white boy, which will def affect his appeal(could be good, but could easily be bad). lets face it guys...mayweather and pac are damn near single-handedly supporting mainstream boixing in their own ways.

yea, if u think about it, floyd really did gain the upper hand in beating mosely. there aint no more credible opponents for pac that twould wow ppl. floyd still has some solid pics. theres berto, williams and martinez. pac isnt fighting berto, williams or martinez for different reasons. he can fight at 140 tho, but theres nothing big there.

i say sergio martinez who if properly marketed as the guy to beat floyd could reach a million ppv buys getting floyd the paycheck and boosting his legacy if the fight is for the middleweight championship. True, any legit WW bigger than Flyod guys can generated good numbers and Pac is no exception just because he is so dammed good for smaller guy.

If Floyd and Manny both retired at 12 midnight tomorrow both legacies would be cemented, therefore I don't think either fighter needs eachother. That said, it's us the fans that wants this fight and Floyd/Manny want the accolades of being P4P number 1...

i say sergio martinez who if properly marketed as the guy to beat floyd could reach a million ppv buys getting floyd the paycheck and boosting his legacy if the fight is for the middleweight championship. why not fight pwilliams (who beat martinez). Martinez is a good canidate to fight floyd, cuz he gasses out and lets his hands down so floyd can hit him w/ ease. But floyd better watch out for sergio's power

NO. Floyd fighting Sergio is better than any Pacquiao possible fight,and Roach already said they aren't fighting Foreman,he's too tall.
